Celebrate Turn #22

Each week Ruth Ayres extends an invitation to share and celebrate events, big or small, from our week.Today I celebrate new teachers.I consider myself lucky because I get to relive the excitement felt by new teachers, although vicariously through my daughter. I have not seen her much this week because she has been working almost everyday, all day, in her new third grade classroom.But I do get to see that new teacher excitement of...

new supplies of crayons, markers, and notebooks

bulletin board ideas coming to life

libraires reorganized

pencil caddies full of pencils, sharpened and ready to go

desks arranged and rearranged and rearranged again trying to find the perfect spot

How exciting for you and very wonderful for your daughter to have you close. She just graduated didn't she? And she already has a job? Wow! So great! Here in Vancouver, it takes many teachers years to finally get a contract. I was lucky years and years ago to have my own classroom within a year but it is almost unheard of now.

Oh that new teacher excitement is contagious!!! If only we could bottle it!! Enjoy these moments!! I LOVE her classroom. It's so organized and vibrant! Lots of good learning will be happening here very soon!

I love, love, love the excitement of new teachers! I'm looking forward, then, to teaching at our New Teacher Institute the first week in August, and working with a new teacher in my building. But to have one in your own family, well, that's even better! Enjoy!

I'm always giddy with excitement to see how new teachers begin their year. I read this great advice post for new teachers this week on Facebook! It's great about finding the marigolds. Here is the link!http://www.cultofpedagogy.com/marigolds/

That classroom organization is a thing I just love. As Margaret said, perhaps it's a thing we all share, we teachers. Thank goodness there more coming along who see teaching as "a desired and fulfilling profession" and people like you to help them along their way.
